Attitude Check
Jun. 5th, 2026 08:35 amThe sun was behind a cloud when I got to the pool. It looked like it might stay there and Holly was swimming so I did not lower the blinds. Holly would much rather have them up always. "It makes me feel like I'm outside." She says as if that is a good thing which, of course, I do not think it is. Mostly she is very tolerant of my lower the blinds when the sun is out so if it's not I don't. BUT after she got out and was gone, the sun came out so I just quit early which annoyed me.
Then I ran into Martha who said she was not coming to elbow coffee tomorrow. Martha makes elbow coffee tolerable.
The new menus came out and they are not great. They haven't been great for a while. I'm giving serious thought to opting out of the meal thing entirely. They give you that option but only once a year, in January. I think I might try it for a year. I have a few months to decide.
And I got a stupid email from the stupid chair of the stupid food and beverage committee.
And when you wad that all up, you get me ... cranky pants. So, today's project is to change my pants.
On the up side. I got my socks done up to the ankles so the rest is a no brainer. Just knit until you run out of yarn or the socks are high enough. But I have to put them aside and go back to the little dolls cause my stash of finished ones is running low and I like to have a full shelf of them on weekends.
I remembered that Bonny's birthday is Sunday and it is the one that she will not ask me to make a poster for the elbow so I did. She was tickled. Her grandsons are having a birthday party for her and she said she was going to take it for the party.

Today's Mariners game starts at 4 which is lovely.
All the dirty clothes in the house are getting washed and should be finished in about 30.
I finished Patricia Finn's The Golden Boy and it was really a very good read. It's always so hard to follow up a great book like that but I have a couple of good candidates ready in the queue.
Ok. Interuptus.
The clean clothes are out of the machine and all put away. I am dressed. The litter box has been scooped.
Time to get on with my day.
